CHAIR-OPERATED GHUBN.

Application filed May 17, 1915.

To all 107mmit may concern Be it known that l, ALEXANDER Swiss, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Hinsdale, in the county of Dupage and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chair-Operated Ghurns, of which the following is a speciii cation.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in chair operated churn.

The primary object of this invention is to provide an inexpensive means for operating a churn so that the butter .malring process may be carried on while the operator is comfortably seated in a rocking chair.

It further object of the device is to provide a rotary dasher for a stationary churn and a rocking chair actuating means for the said dasher. v

With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood the same consists in the novel combination and arrange ment of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throu hout the several views :Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectional view taken through the device, a portion of the operating mechanism including the rocking chair being shown in elevation, and Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken on lines 11-11 of Fig. 1.

It will be noted that a barrel churn 10 is herein illustrated, the same being'mounted stationary upon supporting legs 11 by means of two opposite cylindrical posts 12 secured to the opposite ends of the barrel and arranged upon the central longitudinal axis thereof, the said churn being provided with a closure lid 13 in the top thereof.

A dasher 14 in the form of a plate is provided within the churn having an operating shaft 15 extending longitudinally thereof and fixedly secured thereto, the said shaft 15 being revolubly journaled in the central bores 16 of the said posts 12.

A. rocking chair 1? is adapted for operat Specification of Letters Tatent.

ing the churn by revolving the dasher 14: thereof by means of mechanism hereinafter set forth. A bracket 18 is positioned upright between the churn and the chair the same being secured to the foot 19 of one of the supporting legs 11. A rocking beam 20 is pivoted in the top of the bracket 18 by means of a pin .21 andis provided with opposite enlarged ends 22 ant respectively,

each of which is providedwith a central and at its other end is connected by means of a hinged joint 31 with the upper end of the operating rod 28.

The dasher 14: is provided with plurality of perforations 32 and it will be at once apparent that upon a rocking of the chair 17 to and fro, the end of the roclring beam 20 will be alternately lowered and raised, thereby communicating opposite movement to the opposite end 22 thereof. lhe rod 28 is thereby reciprocated between spaced guide rollers 33 outwardly projecting from the supporting leg '11 and thus the dasher shaft crank 29 is operated through the agency of the connecting link 30. The churn dasher 14: is thus forcibly revolved within the churn 10 continuously and simultaneously with the rocking action of the chair 17 so that the churning operation may be eflected by any person rocking the chair while seated therein.

While the form of the invention herein shown and described is what is believed to be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made in the form, propor tion and details of construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the in vention as set forth in the appended claim.

What is claimed as new is 1- A crank shaft operating device compris ing a base, an oscillatin rocker parallel to to the upper end of the rod and provided said base, a lever pivote to the base, means with means for connection to the crank on for loosely connecting one end of said lever the crank shaft.

to the rocker, a rod guide supported on said In testimony whereof I aflix my signa- 5 base, a rod reoiprocable in said guide, means ture.

for loosely connecting the rod to the re maining end of the lever, a pitman pivoted ALEXANDER SZASZ.
